Taiwanese-American slugger Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo tore it up for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, each driving in three runs in a thrilling 11-9, 10-inning victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. This nail-biting win salvaged the final game of their road series.
Perdomo lit up the scoreboard by going four-for-five and crossing the plate twice. Carroll and Jose Herrera contributed two hits apiece to the Diamondbacks' cause. Josh Naylor delivered the crucial go-ahead single in the 10th inning after Arizona had earlier thrown away a six-run advantage.
The Phillies weren't about to give up without a fight. They trailed 7-1 early but mounted a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, entering the frame down 8-6. With just two outs, Bryce Harper's National League-leading 11th homer narrowed the gap to one. Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto followed with singles, setting the stage for Alec Bohm's game-tying single into center.
But the Diamondbacks weren't done yet. Naylor opened the 10th with an RBI single against Jose Alvarado, and after a walk and a sacrifice fly, the Phillies were looking at an 11-8 deficit. The hosts threatened in the 10th with a single from Weston Wilson to load the bases, but Jalen Beeks shut the door by getting Harper and Schwarber to fly out and ground out, respectively.
Carroll and Herrera powered the Diamondbacks' offensive surge in the earlier innings, with Carroll capping a three-run third inning with a two-run single and Herrera supplying a crucial two-run double in the fourth. Philadelphia began to chip away in the fourth, with Johan Rojas providing an RBI single, but Wilson's three-run homer in the sixth off Juan Morillo only reduced the deficit.
Just a day prior, the Phillies and Diamondbacks had battled it out in a different close game, with Kyle Schwarber and Max Kepler paired once again to provide late-inning heroics. The May 2 game saw similar results, with a Schwarber and Kepler home run combo deciding the matchup.
With the win, the Diamondbacks improved their record, while the Phillies dropped a heartbreaker despite giving it their all. The result will surely be a talking point as these teams continue their battle for supremacy in the league.
